Not to mention pregnant folks are classed as a vulnerable person in this country and deemed incapable of making a medical decision, so procedures and examinations are performed on them without their consent and their wishes ignored! I’ll get the champers!

Women and girls should have to prove they’re prepregnant in order to buy alcohol. If they’re blessed with a gift of a preborn child then obviously they can’t be let near the booze aisle in supermarkets and completely banned from off licences. If it’s a gift for someone, other than another woman experiencing a blessed event, they can just politely ask a competent male to get it for them.

Women can’t be trusted. That’s why we need the 8th amendment, to take all those choices away from them.

Now, unless it’s made law that women should abstain from penatrative, vaginal sex unless it’s to procreate, women are going to have penatrative, vaginal sex and enjoy the hell out of it. If, as a result of a contraception failure, a pregnancy occurs, medical advice will be to terminate that pregnancy. NIMBY hypocrites like you won’t allow that to happen in this country, so it happens abroad instead or the woman will die. More martyrs to the blessed joy of 8th amendment sanctioned pregnancy, eh?

I was at an 80s themed party at the weekend, met a fella dressed in white with a headband and the Choose Life anti-drugs slogan on his t-shirt. He said he got mistaken for a pro-lifer on his way up by an enthusiastic whooping person. He wasn’t from here so I had to explain the whole situation from start to the present day. His mind was blown

Also, if you were a smart person organising a campaign of this kind, you’d tell the lads to stay away. I mean, denying healthcare to people is one thing, but when you’re not going to be putting your own life or health at risk, sometimes it’s wise to pipe down.

I was trying to be smart and point out, in a convulted manner, that the Overton window has somewhat shifted away from the clowns pictured – or rather, away from their grandparents who tried using the constitution to stop abortion. Supreme court ruled in 1992 that abortion is constitutional (when the life of the mother is at risk etc etc).

I want to see the lazy hypocrites campaign to repeal the 13th. The 8th amendment doesn’t prevent Irish abortions, there’s at least 3000 a year. The right to travel kills all those preborn children and the so called pro life campaigners don’t care. Women and girls shouldn’t be allowed to leave the country without a certificate of pregnancy/non-pregnancy. If you’re not pregnant leaving you’ve nothing to worry about. If you’re pregnant leaving and not pregnant on your return, then you go to jail for 14 years. People who don’t support repeal of the13th amendment, but claim to be pro life are accessories to murder.

No, I think you’re taking that a bit too far Daisy. People have the right to travel places. And they will occasionally do things that are not legal here. You may not approve of what they do, but it’s not illegal.

It’s not illegal because of the13th amendment. 12 Irish abortions – preborn murders – happen every day and so called pro life supporters don’t care because it’s outsourced to the UK. You can’t call yourself pro life and be okay with the 13th amendment. If you are then you’re as guilty as the woman having the abortion.

If the 8th is retained, the status quo remains and 3000+ Irish abortions will still go ahead in the UK and elsewhere because NIMBY hypocrites like you let them happen. Why are you afraid to repeal the 13th? Is it because it shows you up for a vindictive, antichoice, hypocrite who believes in punishing women who have notions about having sex for reasons other than procreation?

The 8th hasn’t saved lives. That’s a pathetic fallacy repeated by so called “prolife” to justify their complicity in 3000+ annual murders. Women are dead because of the 8th amendment. Dying women have their dignity taken from them and they’re turned into incubating zombies to satisfy the laws beloved of womb watching foetus fetishists.

Campaigning to retain the 8th is a lazy way of changing absolutely nothing. 170,000 documented Irish abortions have happened in the 34 years since the 8th amendment was passed. That number is probably a lot higher due to women and girls giving false information. Tell me how the 8th is saving lives when it’s retention will mean another 170,000 Irish abortions will have taken place by 2050?

The only way to save Ireland from abortion is to repeal the 13th amendment. Why are so called “prolife” campaigners not prepared to show their true colours in this respect? Why only pay lip service to being against abortion when you’re complicit in the murder of 12 irish preborns a day?

I’d have more respect (well, some respect) for the 8thers if they were campaigning for improved peri and post natal care for pregnant women. The sheer lack of medical and psychological care is shocking and the idea that some have the front to argue that it’s OK for women to be forced to remain pregnant against their will despite the neglect of the health services and have not a single word to say about it shows their horrible attitude towards women.

Yes people still travel abroad to abort their babies, but many abortions are aborted. 100,000 in NI. I don’t know what the comparable figure is in ROI.

We’ll start the campaign to repeal the 13th (and at the same time support those who fight against abortion in other countries) as soon as the current threat to the 8th amendment has passed. Good thinking Daisy.

Personally I’d love to be in a country that had the choice to have an abortion – but that also provided sufficient education (& contraception) to reduce the number of people accidently getting pregnant and better support that made having the child more appealing.

I hope the 8 is repealed. And I hope that the pro-live then put their energy into reducing the numbers of people wanting/needing abortion.

The modern women is too stupid and clueless about contraception and sexual health, so the Repeal 8th Cult want abortion-death on demand rather than better sexual education.

This is why the Irish Alt-academics in the insanely liberal educational institutions have to do their thinking for them whilst quickly subverting any resistance or intelligent debate.
Picture a wall of screeching feminists, now imagine that wall stacked high with aborted fetuses, this will be the new building boom in the Liberal Age.

I was observing the Strike4Repeal march a few months back and the visual horrors of large multi-coloured haired tattooed pierced sloths screeching at passersbys made me want to take up arms and smite all around me.
I was thinking this isn’t Dublin, it’s not even Ireland, I’m living in some incredibly vicious and disgusting liberal paradise, the alternative to you Leftists is a lush green peaceful conservative Hell.

There was one screecher screeching for ‘TransPeople4Abortions’ or something unbelievable horrifying to that nature.
A green haired dress wearing ((man)), screaming for the right for him/it/xe/ to do what ‘she/he’ wanted with ‘his/her’ non-existent womb whilst being carried on some pedestal bawling into a megaphone by Neo-Europeans (non-whites) across the Luas construction site on O’Connell Bridge.

These at-Irish will get their referendum, watered downed because our disgraceful health service could not and will not be able to deal with 1000 abortions a year, but it will not pass.
And if by hooked nose or crook it does, the Age of Sanity in this country will pass.

3000 abortions a year, they said.
Women are getting stupider which is why they’re easier to get into bed and having meaningless unprotected sex.
Men are even stupider, but have zero say in any of this.

Well said Henry. it looks like the loons have taken the mad house when looking at these people protesting. Just in case you thought the chanting rants were not clear enough, they have to wear the uniform of nuts. Badly written on t-shirts random bits of metal stuck around there face and short Un kept hair, colored of course. Try asking a question and they come out with the same old propaganda and lies they’ve been fed. And no bit of logic or reasonable question is allowed enter their heads.
